92 ABS Modulator Not Pumping to Rear
So my 92 GXE's abs modulator isnt pumping fluid to the rear, instead its slowly leaking from the modulator, so basically that thing is on its way out and i need a replacement used one. i got quoted 100 or less for a used one and 2+ hours of labor plus brake bleeding by midas and i really have no money right now but this needs to get fixed as i only have front brakes and they feel squishy... sorta. Well i was wondering if i could simply cut the lines from the master cylender where they go into the modulator and cut the lines that come out (there like 3 inches apart) and connect them with adapters or w/e they sell. So would this work? I know that one post was talkin about how after 5 mins the brakes locked up or had to much pressure, will this be the case of wat? I just want to simply bypass the abs modulator, so id have regular brakes. How hard would this be and if its not possible where are some places to look for modulators and how hard is an install on one of them? (i know JY would have em but how do i know they'll work.... Thanks in advance guys i really need help.

Bleeding ABS brakes/installing Actuator
So within the next few days or so i will be removing and installing a used ABS actuator from the JY i got for 67 bucks. After i install it im naturally going to need to bleed the brakes. I know u start with the wheel that has the longest line to it and move closer... but wats the wheel order for a 92 gxe with abs? also do i disconnect the harnesses from the actuator when im bleeding or put the car in ACC mode (someone told me thats how to do it but i dont believe that)? so if u guys could help me out, im a noob with car stuff but i cant afford to have a shop put this in... and i got it out of the JY car fine so im sure i can get it in mine right? i hope so...
